I posted this problem last week and still couldn't get this to work.
I have a backed up copy of a production db that i want to test. The production server is using server 7 white i have 2000 at my desktop. How can i get this to work ? I am beginning to 'lose' it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to complete this test today.
Thanks
Can SQL server7 restore a single table? If one table corrupted, do I have to restore the whole database for this table ?( It is awkward to restore the whole database only for a single table! especially the database is large!)
thanks,

Hello,
I need some help here. I have a database and used netbackup to backup everything . On restoring in another server, I couldn't get a connection. What am i doing wrong here.
HELP...........
hi,
i'm new to this sql server thing. i hope somebody can help me out!
i would like to find a way to determine whether or not the automated
backup of the database has been done without using the sql mail
functionality. i'm not allowed to use that because it only runs for
the microsoft outlook and it cost too much space. the server is in one
of our clients and they do not have a db admin, and nobody wants to go
there can i do something????
Does anyone know the advantages of using a view over a store procedure? Are there any proformance differences?
thanks

I have a full backup done on a very important server 7 database. Now i have to test to see if it is saving okay and to do a mock restore to see how quickly we can restore same. The size of the file is about 700M. I would have to do my testing on a test server. How do I go about this.
Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deleted
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.
Hi
we are having SQL server7.0 with DPT raid card which gives the problem of backup/restore through normal SQL backup in Enterprise manager.So we are not using the above procedure
but we have moved all the tables using SQL EXPORT to another new server.
Can you please give a solution to transfer Stored procedure from the server to new server

Hi,
The company finally bought a legitimate copy of SQL Server 7. There was nothing special on my trial version, so I chose the uninstall option from the start menu (it was on my Win95 PC). It removed the files, but didn't uninstall the registry bits though! When trying to install the proper version of SQL 7 it has detected the other version, but no files & won't let me install the legitimate version. Can anyone tell me how to get around this to install the new version?
Thanks

Database file or filegroup method was used to perform the backup and now i tried to restore that into different server by using SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
I got this error message:
"The database you are attempting to restore was backed up under a diffrent sort order ID (54) than the one currently running on this server (52), and at least one of them is a non-binary sort order. Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally."
Why i got this error message? And what is "backed up under a diffrent sort order ID (54)" ?
Please anyone help me

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a full database backup in a .bak file which includes both mdf and ldf parts. Unfortunatly when I try to restore the database the ldf it requires far more hard drive space than I have avaliable.
Is there any way to restore the database minus the log?
Or, is there any way to split the .bak file to the mdf and lfg files and restore just the mdf?
I cannot do another backup, or trim and backup. This .bak file is all I have to work with.
Thanks in advance!
If a SQL 2000 server instance is destroyed, but the database file (*.mdf) is saved on the disk, can a database within a newly created server instance be built on the saved file?
If I attempt to create a new database and choose the saved mdf file as the data file, then the server refuses to accept this file. Is there a way to create the new database and make it read the standalone mdf file?
Please help if at all possible. Thanks.

I am trying to create a scheduled task taht will restore a database from a backup file. I do not store my backups on a backup device, but on a local disk. To restore a DB from a backup device, the following statement will work:

Thanks in a advanced.
Hi,
Is it possible to restore a database with only a .bak file??
When I try to restore the system comes up with 2 paths where probably the original .mdf and .ldf files existed, but on my system they don't exist. How can I avoid this problem? (it's not possible to get the ldf and mdf files anymore...)

I tried to use backup and restore database tasks to restore backup file but it does not work. The backup file I tried to restore in SQL server 2000 is from somewhere else (from my friend) and saved in cd-rom, not the one I created before.
How can I restore it to view in SQL server 2000 database?
Can you show me step by step?

Hello there....
I have a scenario where I am trying to set up multiple database instances for multiple test/development environment(s) for each group where the test/dev environment will contain a copy of what was in the production environment.. The test/dev environment can be refreshed on demand based on the prior night's full backup of the production environment.. This is good for our web developers and for training purposes, as the test environment(s) can be played around with, and will retain data for as long as the developers/testers/trainers need it, and then can be refreshed to the most current data when everyone in the group decides they want it refreshed...
Normally, this works out well...
However I am having a file size issue...
The production database was pre-allocated (a long time ago) to a large file size (probably to reduce external fragmentation).... So even though the backup file is only 5GB, the production database file itself is something like 40GB... I believe the production database has a maintainance plan on it already that rebuilds the indicies each weekend, etc...
Anyhow, the problem is that when I restore the 5GB database back into a newly created database file, the file expands all the way up to 40GB again, even though the backup file is 5GB...
Normally this would be fine, the problem is that I am trying to create multiple environments, and I do not have the disk space on my test/dev server for 40GB (plus another 15GB or so for the transaction log) multiplied by each of my test/dev environments... It would be much nicer if I could get this down to 5GB (or heck, even 10GB), since I know for sure that the total amount of data in the database doesnt exceed 5GB, and I have plenty of space on my disk for 5 (or 10) GB multiplied by each of the environments I want to create...
I have tried DBCC SHRINKDB and I have tried DBCC SHRINKFILE with the truncate after the restore, which seems to work but doesn't....
I have also tried to go into the database properties and change the "initial size" but that doesnt do anything etiher
Is there any way to get this file back down to a manageable size after the restore??
Or better yet, is there a special method to restore the database so it wont 'expand' back out to 40GB in the first place??? Perhaps some option to tell the restore process that even though the source database had a 40GB pre-allocation, that the database I am restoring into doesn't need to be pre-allocated??

Hi,
I need an application with asp.net that let me restore database by getting .bak file and database name and database user and user password, my database is SQL Server 2005.
I have to do a database restore from tape from a couple of months ago. When I look at the SQL scheduled task history all databases were sucesfully backed up to a .DAT file. However, when I look at the .DAT file which I have just retrieved from tape - the database which I am looking for isn't listed under the backup information, so I can't choose it to carry out the restore.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
What do I do?
Thanks
Derek
